Abstract:: The advent of synthetic adhesives has transformed the structural applications of wood. However, a persistent issue in adhesively-bonded wood products has been moisture durability. When designing wood based composites, moisture durability will depend on both the wood phase and the adhesive phase. A key question, therefore, is how does one...

Creator:: Huang, Chien-Chih
Abstract:: A new group of lead free piezoelectric perovskite solid solutions, (1-x)Bi(B'B")O₃-xABO₃, were obtained via solid-state processing techniques. The solubility of unstable perovskite Bi(B'B")O₃ compounds into stable perovskite compounds was found to be related to the tolerance factor of the ABO₃ perovskite endmembers. The morphotropic phase boundary (MBP) in perovskite solid...

Creator:: Bothara, Manish G.
Abstract:: Nanostructured ceramics offer significant improvements in properties over the corresponding materials with grain sizes on the order of tens to hundreds of microns. Silicon carbide (SiC) is an important structural ceramic whose properties can potentially be enhanced due to nanoscale microstructures. It has been suggested that SiC samples with grain...

Creator:: Kwon, Seunghwa
Abstract:: Since its discovery, the anomalous dielectric behavior of CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ (CCTO) has drawn a great deal of attention for many possible applications in electronic devices. The origin of the giant dielectric constant in CCTO was explained via an internal barrier layer capacitor model, and it has been reported that the dielectric...
